What happens to love deferred?
Does it wilt,
Like a dying rose?
Or disappear,
Like a ghost?
Does it hide like a scared kid?
Or does it go down the drain,
Like the pouring rain?
Maybe it just lingers,
Like a forgotten memory.
Or, does it just dry up?

a lovely poem but if I may say I beleave that love simply hibern8s for like a bush in winter it seems to die but come beautiful summer it is revived. what Im trying to say is love can allways come back.

The first sentence was a bit challenging, though as the piece unfolds and flows, it became easier to understand. You have a good grasp on expression and emotion. Great piece!
